okay so i want a prius and it is a hybrid but someone told me it uses a little bit of gas is that true.thanks for your answers

Answer 1

The Toyota Prius is currently the most fuel-efficient vehicle in the:  US:  http://www.fueleconomy.gov/f*g/best/best... at 48mpg city/45mpg highway

Canada:  http://www.oee.nrcan.gc.ca/transportatio... at 4.0 L/100km city, 4.2 L/100km highway

(note that different countries have different fuel economy test cycles...)

The Prius has an 11.9 US gallon (45 liter) gasoline tank.

There are no commercially-available plug-in hybrids on the market so far. (So you cannot plug a hybrid in, other than the same gas station pump that most other regular/conventional cars use.) The hybrid battery is recharged either through regenerative braking (kinetic energy from coasting/slowing down spins a generator to make potential energy in the battery) and/or by taking excess power from the gasoline engine (use the gasoline engine as a generator) to recharge the hybrid battery. There is no plug. No charging off the mains/local electric supply.
